Audemus - Hoppy Gin Batch n°3, 44%
Hoppy Gin is a collaboration between Audemus Spirits and Brasserie Jukebox in Cognac. The base of the gin is an IPA beer, distilled under vacuum with French grain alcohol. Distillates of juniper berries and Columbus hops, a key ingredient in the original beer, are added to the recipe.
‘A vibrant nose blending fresh hops and crisp juniper. On the palate, the texture is silky, with floral IPA notes and a controlled bitter touch. Ideal for a gin and tonic with grapefruit zest, or a dry martini.’
Located in the heart of the town of Cognac, the Audemus Distillery is a little atypical for the region. No giant copper beasts here, but a vacuum distillery operated out of the distiller’s living room. This method of distillation allows to maintain the freshness of flavours.
Every botanical that is distilled is processed individually, with its own specific method. The maceration time, botanical ratio, alcohol ABV, distillation time, pressure and temperature will all depend on the botanical’s character.
The resulting spirits are then blended together in their specific ratios with a French neutral grain spirit, and filtered lightly before bottling; giving the different elements time to rest before every stage of production.
